Home sweet home

Traci was released from the hospital after her week long stay late last night. The fungal cultures from her broncioscopy returned negative, and the Pneumonia is being treated with 3 different antibiotics. She also has a daily blood thinner for the blood clot, which appears to have broken apart, and will most likely dissolve inside her body. That one requires a shot in her stomach to be administered daily for the next week.

She has a follow up appointment in January with another CT Scan to look again at the issues that were present upon her admission. But at this point, we're hoping that the stay was fruitful, in that they administered enough antibiotics to clear up the infections, and that the nodules that they discovered will disappear upon the next scan. Hopefully, they were signs of infection, and nothing more.

But for now, our family intends to gear up for Christmas, and enjoy the fact that Traci is back home with us again.
